This reminds me of the Cam Jansen books.  I don't know if all of you are

familiar with them, but the girl has a photographic memory and she says " Click "

to take a picture of whatever she wants to remember.  I think I'll keep my

little one (who blinks) away from the books :-).

Hi all,

 

Even though I originally posted about how to handle hoarding, I just thought of

something that has kinda helped us with my daughter's hoarding of trash and

" organic " things that will disintegrate. ..she started asking us to take

photos!  Of a snowball, an icicle, a funny shaped potatoe chip, a clay sculpture

that was biodegradable, Christmas cookies, etc...so that has actually helped us

some, at least with stuff we really cannot keep around. Of course it doesn't

help with the tons of toys she won't part with...

 

But now she is taking 'photos' with her blinking, which is becoming a more

frequent problem altogether. She blinks to take pictures of stuff as she walks

around the house. It started with the CD player in her room at night changing

the song number display. Now she also adds a " whirring " sound to it, like a

camera functioning. Interesting.. Maybe the photo thing has backfired!  :-)

Although that could benefit them in school...only my 'photographic' memory could

picture the layout of the page, the illustrations and everything, but could NOT

focus in on the words well enough for me to read them!  :-)

Our son took photos too, of everything, even old shoes that didn't fit

anymore, when they had to be parted with. That worked for years,

until his computer got so full of photos that he decided to go back

and look at them. He started deleting them because he couldn't even

remember most of the stuff anymore, even when looking at a picture of

it. lol Whatever works!

He didn't do the blinking thing though.

He also will not part with old toys. Still has some of his baby toys.
